What happens when you call

How do you stop a roof leak and fix the damage it already caused?

Step 1

Stop the water

A crew tarps or temporarily seals the leak area so nothing more comes in. During active rain this is the only job that matters, and it is priced on its own before anything else is discussed.

Same day, often within hours
Step 2

Find the real source

Most leaks are not "the roof." They are a cracked pipe boot, lifted flashing at a wall or chimney, a clogged valley, slipped tile, or a failed skylight seal. We inspect from the roof and from the attic side with moisture meters.

Inspection with photos
Step 3

Repair the roof

Clay and concrete tile, flat torch-down and TPO, and composition shingle. You get a written scope with photos before repair work starts, and a replacement scope only when the roof is actually done.

Written scope first
Step 4

Dry and rebuild inside

Wet insulation out, drying equipment in, moisture readings logged until the framing is dry. Then drywall, texture, paint, and flooring, matched to what was there.

Drying logged daily
Roofer vs. general contractor

Why call a general contractor instead of a roofer for a leak?

A roofer fixes the roof and leaves. The stained ceiling, the soaked insulation, and the drywall that is starting to sag are "somebody else's job." So you call a restoration company for the drying, and then a handyman for the drywall. Three contractors, three invoices, and three sets of photos that never quite line up for the insurance adjuster.

Allegiant Restoration holds a Class B General Building license from the California Contractors State License Board and IICRC certification in water damage restoration. That combination is what lets the same crew tarp the roof on Tuesday, dry the attic Wednesday, and hang new drywall Friday, with one person answering your calls the whole way through.

We are based in the Santa Clarita Valley and work the roof types this area actually has: clay and concrete tile on the Valencia and Stevenson Ranch tracts, flat torch-down on older Valley homes and apartment buildings, and composition shingle almost everywhere else.

Inside the house

How do you know it is a roof leak and not a pipe?

A roof leak shows up after rain and gets quiet when the weather does. A plumbing leak does not care about the forecast. Here is what roof water usually looks like from inside:

  • A ceiling stain that grows or darkens during and after rain
  • Water dripping from a light fixture or ceiling fan
  • Paint bubbling or drywall sagging in a ceiling corner
  • A wet line along the top of an exterior wall
  • A musty smell in the attic or the closet under it
  • Stains around a skylight, chimney, or bathroom vent pipe
  • Insulation that is dark, matted, or damp to the touch
  • Tiles visibly slipped or lifted after a Santa Ana wind event
If the ceiling is bulging: put a bucket under it, poke a small hole in the lowest point of the bulge with a screwdriver, and let the water drain. A controlled drip beats a collapsed ceiling. Then call. Ceiling coming down or water near electrical? Turn off the breaker for that room first.

Not sure which it is? The ceiling leak repair page walks through roof, plumbing, and AC condensate leaks and how we tell them apart.

Insurance

Does homeowners insurance cover roof leak damage?

Usually, partly. Most California homeowner policies cover sudden interior damage from a storm or wind event: the ceiling, insulation, flooring, and contents. Many exclude the roof itself when it failed from age or deferred maintenance. Every policy is different, and we will never tell you what yours covers before the adjuster does.

What we do control is the documentation. From the first visit we photograph the leak source and every affected room, log moisture readings throughout drying, and write an itemized estimate in the line-item format adjusters work from. When the claim is clean, it moves.

What you get for the claim file

  • Cause-of-loss photos from the roof and attic
  • Room-by-room damage photos with measurements
  • Daily moisture and humidity logs during drying
  • Itemized mitigation and repair estimate
  • One point of contact for adjuster questions
Pricing

What does emergency roof leak repair cost?

It depends on four things, and we tell you which ones apply before work starts: how large an area needs tarping and how steep the roof is, what the roof is made of (tile takes longer than shingle), how far the water traveled inside, and whether drying equipment is needed to prevent mold.

The emergency tarp is priced on its own so you can stop the water tonight without committing to anything else. The repair and interior scope comes in writing, with photos, after the inspection. If you would rather have a roofer's price for the roof alone, you will have the information to compare.

Same-day inspection, priced before work. Call (661) 753-6721 and describe what you see. If it is dripping right now, say so and we move you to the front of the route.

Roof leak repair questions

Can you tarp a roof while it is still raining?

Yes, when it is safe to be on the roof. In heavy wind or lightning we secure what we can from the attic side and return the moment conditions allow. Most tarps go on within hours of the call.

How fast can a crew get to me?

Crews are local. The SCV and the north San Fernando Valley are usually reached within 45 minutes in normal traffic. Burbank, Glendale, and the south Valley run 30 to 45 minutes. You get a real arrival window on the phone, not a slogan.

Do you replace roofs, or only repair them?

Both. We repair first when the roof has life left. When tile underlayment or a flat roof membrane has failed across the whole roof, we give you a written replacement scope with photos so you can compare.

Will you work with my insurance adjuster?

Yes. We photograph the leak source and every affected room, log moisture readings during drying, and provide an itemized estimate in the format adjusters use. We cannot promise coverage; most policies cover sudden interior damage but not a roof that failed from age.

What if mold has already started?

Mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours of wetting. Our technicians are IICRC certified in water damage and mold, so containment and remediation happen under the same crew, with clearance testing when the scope calls for it.

Do you handle apartments, HOAs, and commercial buildings?

Yes. Flat torch-down and TPO roofs on multi-unit buildings are a large part of our roof leak work, and we coordinate with property managers on access and documentation.

Water is still coming in. Make the one call.

Tarp tonight, repair the roof, dry and rebuild the inside. One licensed crew from start to finish.
